DAY 6: VOLCANO HIKE & WATER FALLS

The San Ramón waterfall is located at the southern slope of the Maderas Volcano on the island of Ometepe, about 4 kilometers from the small village of San Ramón. The high, natural waterfall can be reached after a nice hike, ascending the forested foot of the impressive volcano. here are several starting points, but the best access is probably from the Biological Field Station, located at the border of the village of San Ramón. There is a path that leads not only to the San Ramón waterfall, but also to the top of the Maderas Volcano. Nature is in abundance along this trail, and there are many animals that can be seen on the way to the waterfall. Howler monkeys live in this area and are not unlikely to be seen. It will take 1.5 to 2 hours to reach the waterfall, but in general the hike is not very tough. The impressive views of Lake Nicaragua and to be surround by nature is well worth the hike.
